Nice build man but how big if your GFX card cause i'm seeing that ur power supply look small to me so watch the total watt u have and on the other just keeping adding the watt per pc component and compare it to the psu

the GFX card is this gts 250

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...=gigabyte%20gts ive since had to get rid of the fan cause it wont fit that processor, and fans for the processor im trying to figure out if i can just stay with the stock one for awhile and just buy a fan when im gonna OC

i also switched the ram to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820227384 unless i get different opinions on wether that, or the corsair dominators are better

might be a close call for the PSU to have enough power to power that rig, caus its i7.. and with the 250. if i were you id go for an 800W psu but thats just me, im sure you'll be able to run it on 600W, but if you were gonna add another gpu, or go watercooling, or somthing like that, a new PSU would be a must.

oh and some of those links are not working for me.. is that just me?

I'd say that chip doesn't really fit well with the other stuff. Try these:

DO NOT get the V10. It is the most fail cooler ever. Believe me, go look for some reviews on it. get the Coolermaster V8 instead, much better.

pfft, who cares about reviews... these fucks probably didn't even realize that the tec only activates at high temps.
it's called conservation you dumb shits

even the Canadians figured this out*:

* they fried it though, probably from using a POS Seasonic S12 600W

but without the tec it fails. thats the problem

meh

all im saying is that a much lower end cooler, such as the TRUE, which with a push-pull fan configuration, is widely accepted as the best air cooling you can get, is much cheaper and better performing than the V10. And for the price of a V10, you could build a low end water cooling system, as a small CPU loop with a 240 rad on a pull or push config, would perform much much better, for only about $30 more.

ok yes, the V10 is probably the most badass looking cooler out today, and it has tec, which is a new feature which is not found in other coolers, and it does cool better than a stock cooler, but it is really overpriced, and a cooler half the price would perform better with some high rpm fans.
